Banned trainer worked with A-Rod


A-Rod's pal, the tainted trainer: Steroid-linked friend is banned by every MLB team

==============================



Embattled Yankee Alex Rodriguez has had a long relationship with a steroid-linked trainer who's been banned from major league clubhouses, four independent sources told the Daily News.

Angel Presinal, who was banned from private areas of every MLB ballpark after an October 2001 incident involving an unmarked gym bag full of steroids, has been tight with the Yankee slugger dating back to his time with the Texas Rangers, several sources said.

A former New York-area scout says Presinal, whose named surfaced in the Mitchell Report, was with Rodriguez in New York and Miami as recently as this past fall.

MLB has warned players to stay away from him.

He has been thrown out of clubhouses in Cleveland, Anaheim and Texas.

"He's an unsavory character," said a source.

Presinal reportedly traveled with Rodriguez throughout the 2007 season.

SCUM

A-Rod's cousin, Yuri Sucart, leaves the slugger's Park Ave. apartment building during Rodriguez's messy divorce. Presinal roomed with Sucart when they accompanied A-Rod on trips, according to reports.

1. And his cousin isn't his cousin...
...no relationship, blood that is, maybe some family friend he grew up with, but since A-Hole/Fraud/Roid is no longer talking after his latest set of lies, what the exact relationship is we won't know for a while.
